I discovered boy meets world because of girl meets world then binge watched all of Boy.

I’m a fellow early 90s baby in spirit.

Fascinating to hear that rating above, I wonder how long they'll maintain that, and then long term it'll be interesting to see what it plateaus out at vs what they were doing on USA.

The most boring parts of the show were easily The Rock simply because he is seemingly a babyface again now. I get ( to an extent) why they had him as a face on this show but there was just so much more mileage to him as a heel. Having him put Cody over and hugging him like he did was just too much. They've got so much unfinished business between them from last years Wrestlemania feud, it would be foolish to not revisit that. And there's also obvious scope for heel Rock vs Roman too, but they're seemingly not going to go down that route either. I get Rocky is reportedly not available for Wrestlemania due to Moana re-shoots but I don't think that having him go full babyface like this was the way to go. His promo on NXT the following day was terrible too.

The Hogan reaction was funny. He looked so genuinely surprised and stummped by it. By all accounts WWe were surprised behind the scenes too by the reaciton but they're still going to crack on with having him appear apparently to promote the beer partnership. In my iopinion they should lean into the reaction and just have Hogan go NWO Hollywood Hogan (which is the most interesting he's ever been in his career from a character standpoint anyway).

The action on the show was great. Ripley vs Liv was good, Punk vs Rollins was a great match too, Cena teasing that 17th title by entering the Rumble was cool (it'll be fascinating to see where they go with that and whether they actually give it to Cena).

All in all a good start to life on Netflix. From a personal standpoint I'm so glad that I can now so easily and readily watch all WWE shows on demand through the platform as it's always been a pain here in the UK to watch unless you're staying up to watch live.

Same my guy, same. I know we've always had access to it on SkySports and BT etc but this is such a game changer. Criminally cheap for the amount of content we're getting, all under one roof and don't have to worry about using tube sites to watch the day after or constantly finding streams after they get pulled for copyright.

Raw was good Monday. The amount of stars was huge. O Shea Jackson replica belt looked lush.

Glad Lyra won over plaudits with her appearance.

Some new viewership information is now available regarding WWE Raw’s Netflix premiere episode.

Per data published by Netflix, the episode was viewed 5,900,000 times globally from January 6-12, which means an additional one million views were added after the initial two-day viewership number that WWE and Netflix touted. The three-hour episode generated a total of 17,700,000 hours viewed.

Raw ranked fourth among English-language TV shows on Netflix for the week, trailing “Missing You,” (15,200,000 views), “American Primeval” (10,400,000 views), and the docuseries “Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action” (7,700,000 views).

Season two of “Squid Game” — which is ranked as a non-English language show — was the top TV program on Netflix with 26,300,000 views. “The Breakthrough” also had 10,600,000 views and “Squid Game” season one had 8,700,000 views in the non-English language category.

The Raw premiere ranked as a top 10 show in 26 different countries.

In their press release last week, WWE and Netflix stated that — in the United States — the premiere averaged 2.6 million households in live and same-day viewing.

Viewership data for Raw’s second episode on Netflix — which took place from San Jose, California last night — is not available yet.
